Back to active duty after an administrative leave of absence for the use of deadly force, the last thing Detective Nathan Fisher wants to do is return to the conservative Amish community he left behind but when his father passes, he has no choice. Hoping to clear his head and perhaps mend fences with his family, he returns to his small Mississippi hometown despite not being welcome. What was supposed to be a quick visit quickly turns into a prolonged stay when his former love pleads for his help. Rachel Hostetler''s world is turned upside down when she finds her brother''s body hanging in her family''s barn. Rachel is sure her brother Albie did not kill himself, but neither her father nor the police are willing to listen. When she spots Nate, her ex, now a detective in Oklahoma, back in Cedar Creek, she knows he is the answer to her problem and begs him to intercede. As Nate and Rachel come to terms with their shared history, despite knowing nothing can come of the longing they have for each other, the pair must look into Albie''s death as suspects stack up. The truth is out there, but can they find it before Nate has to return to his real life and face the shooting that has him so desperately searching for peace?

The second instalment in the Main Street Book Club Mysteries is another cosy crime perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Lorna Barrett. This riveting small town murder mystery will have to be solved by the book… It was only a few months ago that the ladies of Arlo's Friday Night Book Club - Fern, Camille, and Helen - solved the murder of the renowned author, Wally Harrison. So when they select Wally's bestseller, Missing Girl, for their next discussion, Arlo is hopeful it will be the end of their mystery hunt. But since their recent success as sleuths, the crew officially see themselves as a women's mystery club, and they're convinced Missing Girl was inspired by a 50-year-old cold case. It's a case from their own Sugar Springs, Mississippi: the disappearance of Mary Kennedy. Arlo can do little to stop the book club ladies from investigating. But what starts as a fun hunch quickly turns into a very real cold case murder mystery when a young girl is murdered in the exact place the women believe Mary went missing all those years ago. It's clear the two cases are connected - and the mystery book club is determined to find answers. With Arlo's help, they may just be able to crack the case. A Murder Between the Pages is full of quirky, Southern charm that fans of detective books will adore. If you love women's murder club stories, this cosy murder mystery is for you!
